This AI computer can beat students at SAT geometry questions

In 2014, the average SAT test taker correctly answered answered 49 percent of the test’s math questions. Today, a new software program is now close to doing the same.In a paper published Monday, researchers at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) and the University of Washington revealed that their artificial intelligence (AI) system, known as GeoSolver, or GeoS for short, is able to answer “unseen and unaltered” geometry problems on par with humans. According to a report released by College Board, the average SAT math score in 2014 was 513. Though GeoS has only been tested on geometry questions, if the system’s accuracy was extrapolated, GeoS would have scored a 500.Using a combination of computer vision and natural language processing, GeoS can interpret diagrams and process text that it then feeds…
